Crude Oil Production
Ukraine produced 2.5 Mt of crude oil in 2021 (stable), covering around 56% of its consumption.
Ukraine has a refining capacity of around 250 kb/d (12.5 Mt/year). However, the rate of utilisation of this capacity is very low (around 10%) and only 1.1 Mt of petroleum products were produced in 2021 (+10% compared to 2020).
Ukraine became a net importer of petroleum products in 2007 and imported 10 Mt in 2021 (+4.5% compared to 2020), ie around 80% of its needs. In 2021, imports mostly came from Belarus (44%), Russia (25%), and Lithuania (11%).
